AN: Haha! Two chapters in two days! I actually started and finished this one today, so I feel very accomplished! I've also started on chapter 3 because I wanted to work ahead ^_^ Dex is in this chapter! :D I love him! And everytime I watch the movie, I always wonder how Dex and Obi-Wan met...I wonder if it's in one of the Apprentice books...Hmmm..I'm happy to say that I got two reviews on the first chapter! XD I really don't care how many reviews I get as long as I get one! Which will probably always be from charliebrown1234 :D Now, to my shoutouts!

To charliebrown1234: I was able to put that one on hold at my library, but they don't have the audio recording :P On the bright side, I started watching Moulin Rouge! today :D You're right..it's got some weeeeeeird parts! Oh! At my school we have Reader's Response that we do in English (I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but frankly, I hate doing it DX) and I think I'm going to use Wild Space as my book! Wahoooo!

To blot32: I cannot tell you how sorry I am that I got you mixed up with another author! D': I had checked my emails on my iPod, so I couldn't really tell if it was a story add or review! I'm so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so sorry! As a second apology, I need a character to add into the 3rd or 4th chapter, and I'd be thrilled if you would maybe come up with something? That way you can feel special and be apart of the story! :D

To bran4ever: Thank you so much for catching that mistake! Kudos and snaps for you! I felt so bad when I found out :P And I'm going to try and squeeze Amy's past into the next chapter and if I can't, it'll be in the one after that!

/Salt in the Snow\\

Let me tell you something.

Standing in the center of a room full of the wisest and most powerful Jedi is not fun. In fact, it is extremely awkward. And that was the exact situation I was currently in.

"So you're a bounty hunter?" Master Mace Windu asked warily.

He didn't trust me. Right now, none of the Council did. Although, I didn't blame them, based on what was going on. They find out that it's a bounty hunter trying to kill one of their most important Senators and then I show up. Even though I had now decided to quit, they were still suspicious. I would be, too.

"Ex-bounty hunter," I corrected quietly.
Windu frowned. "'Ex'?"

I sighed. "I failed my last mission because instead of killing my target, I saved them. I mean, sure, I almost killed him, but I didn't fully. He made me realize that I needed to change. So, I quit."

"And who was this target of yours?" Master Ki-Adi-Mundi asked.

The Council muttered amongst themselves as I fidgeted silently. After a few moments, the group grew quiet and Windu faced me once more.

"We're going to help you, Amy Matherly," he stated. "We will assign you a Jedi to be your protector and you are to do everything he tells you, alright?"

Ugh. "I'll try, Master Windu."

"No!" I flinched back when Master Yoda spoke—or rather, yelled, I guess—suddenly. "Try not! Do or do not. There is no try." (AN: That just so happens to be one of my FAVOURITE Star Wars quotes! There's two others that I'll more than likely add in future chapters ;D)

I smiled softly and nodded. "Okay."

The door opened unexpectedly…well, it was unexpected to me, anyways.

"Master Windu," a familiar voice said, "You asked for me?"

Windu nodded. "Obi-Wan, this is Amy Matherly. She is currently being hunted down by a dangerous bounty hunter. This bounty hunter might be the very one we're looking for. We're leaving her in your charge as your Padawan protects Senator Amidala on Naboo.

I whirled around in shock. Sure enough, Obi-Wan Kenobi himself stood behind me, clad in robes similar to the ones he'd worn when I'd attacked him. I expected him to glare or look at me coldly, but he kept his face carefully blank.

"I am honored that you chose me, Master, but I was just on my way to go visit an old friend of mine to get more information on the bounty hunter."

"With you, she can go," Yoda commented, "Been made, this decision has."

Obi-Wan's expression stayed blank, but his jaw clenched. Ohhh, no. He's still mad. "Yes, Master."

"You may go now," Windu said.

We bowed respectfully and walked out of the room.

"What in the blazes are you doing here?" Obi-Wan asked, dragging me down the hall.

I glared at him. "After you left, my boss contacted me. I told him what happened and then I quit. He got pissed off and said he was on his way. In other words, he was going to kill me, so I came here. I needed help."

He groaned in frustration. "Why me? Why do I have to protect you, of all people?"

I frowned. "I saved your life!"

"After you nearly killed me!"

"Your point?"

"My point is that I'm not sure I can trust you!"

I rolled my eyes. "You can trust me," I promised.

He huffed. "We'll see."

"'Dexter's Diner?'" I asked incredulously.

Obi-Wan smirked. "Yep."

Dex turned out to be more helpful than I would've thought. He examined the poison dart that Obi-Wan had brought and told us all about some cloners on a planet called Kamino.

"Kamino?" I blurted out, "That sounds familiar. Is it part of the Republic?"

Dex shook his head. "No, it's beyond the Outer Rim."

"Oh." Then why does it sound so familiar?

"These Kaminoans keep to themselves," he continued, "They're cloners. Damned good ones, too."

"Cloners?" Obi-Wan asked. "Are they friendly?"

"It depends."

"On what, Dex?"

"On how good your manners are. And how big your…pocketbook is," he said smirking.

Obi-Wan rubbed his chin, thinking. "Thank you, Dex. I can't tell you how helpful you've been. C'mon, Amy. We'd better get going."

As we stood, Dex laughed and told Obi-Wan that he was always glad to help.

"Your friend here's a real keeper," he said, winking at Obi-Wan. "You should bring her over more often."

Obi-Wan blushed and we explained that it wasn't like that, but I don't think Dex believed us.

On our way back to the Temple, Obi-Wan looked over at me.

"So what did you think of him?"

"Who? Dex?"

He nodded.

"He's funny," I admitted with a grin, "I like him."

He gave me a small smile.

"I'm glad," he said.

My grin grew at that.

Maybe Obi-Wan wasn't as mad at me as I thought.

So? Whaddya think? Good news! We're switching from Dish to Direct TV and we get Direct TV this Friday! Hopefully, we'll be getting DVR as well because then I can record season 6 of Supernatural and Revenge of the Sith when it comes one Spike because that's the only one I don't have :P I can also record Back to the Future :D :D Welllllll, review!
